Thanks Mark,
I am aware of the bug, the info that Rafael was saying is that he has it working and I wonder how. Hopefully he can spark his infrastructure configuration and all of us can take a peak to that. 

Ciao

Apache has an internal limit of 8190 bytes for the response header which means that you will get an error when you request a token with includes an endpoint catalog that has more than about 12 endpoints in it. We had to turn the catalog off.

For testing purposes suggest updating the keystone database with a shorter token-id. (An alternative is to set up keystone to generate uuid tokens.) From the above output grad the token expiry value, referred to as "x-y-z"
